To get into the spooky halloween mood I am going to be looking at Dalwhinnie 15. Something completely unrelated to Halloween and anything spooky. It is a Highland scotch coming from you guessed it the Scottish Highlands, Dalwhinnie has the unique claim of being the highest distillery in Scotland. Dalwhinnie 15 comes in at 43%…

So you’re in Amsterdam for a weekend, and you’re a fan of beer. Is the Heineken Experience worth it? For anyone who doesn’t know Heineken is an old brewery in Amsterdam, founded in 1864. It’s famous for using a very unique strain of yeast that is still descendant from the batch that was first…

I love ginger ale. I’ll start with that right now. I think it’s the best drink to mix with ever since it goes with literally everything. Canada Dry is in my top ten list of things I’m missing on exchange. Of course this isn’t quite the same thing but I was very happy to see…
Amsterdam Brewery Cruiser All Day Pale Ale I’m excited to say that this is my first time trying anything by Amsterdam Brewery. Amsterdam Brewery has been around since 1986 and is based out of Toronto. They were recently in the news for some of their blood orange radler cans exploding. So let’s get down to…

As a general rule they have lower alcohol levels and less bitterness than other beers, with more spicier flavours. They are also generally unfiltered and have a…
